Write to a different part of VS statusbar from extension

Question

In my extension I'd like to be able to show some text in the VS status bar all the time, so I can't use "alert" part (the leftmost area), since anybody (VS/other extensions) can overwrite it.

It seems that IVsStatusbar doesn't have such a facility, it only has SetText(string) which sets the alert area. However, ReSharper is able to use rightmost area as well, it puts its code inspection info there.

Is there a way either to write to a different area of the status bar, or to hook up into process of setting the text of it (so I could append all the incoming text after my block)?

I had the same requirement which I asked in MSDN Forum. I was told it is not possible through SDK.
